Some people think the internet is a bad thing
My friend Ethan Zuckerman talks about internet repression
Join Amnesty International UK and The Observer newspaper for a unique global event. We will use the internet to link activists from around the world to discuss the struggle against internet repression and to celebrate the irrepressible desire of people towards freedom of expression.
Wherever you are, you will be able to watch the debate live on the day by webcast, and ask questions, make comments and put your point, at http://www.amnesty.org.uk/webcast (this web address will go live on 6 June)
